Rain has a way of cleansing the spirit, no? One of the reasons I adore Oregon! Some complain about it but I find droplets refreshing. Rain is what makes all things green again! So glad to know I am not alone in this belief!!

Ponita - No, pitter-pattering little paws...yet. I've got a few things on my plate I must address. I've got a BIG trial in May (a $1B+ toxic tort case). Trial prep will keep me busy in the coming months. After that? Well...methinks it's time for a hajj. I'm thinking I need to hit the road. Climb on my bike and do a bit o' traveling. I'm thinking of a big loop to the west coast and back. From Chicago to Mexico, up the Pacific coast to Canada and back (after a short sojourn in Europe). I'd like to visit a few of you Dear Readers along the way (if you'd have me). I'm thinking it's been too long since I've gotten myself a snootful of road dust. I must make amends.
